I have tried the keys in Collin's book but can't get to a species, nor match it to any of Collin's illustrations.

As usual I forgot to say the specimen is in alcohol so the colours may differ from in life.

Subfamily Clinocerinae. Except for one American genus, Hemerodromiinae have swollen fore femora.

Thanks. Yes, I agree K. bipunctata. It has the comb on the front femora. A section has broken off the penis so that is why that doesn't match the Collin's figure. Though I can't find the V-shaped structure on the inside of the lamella as in Collin's fig. 314c inset.
